Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

"Obstinate" means stubbornly refusing to change one's opinion or chosen course of action, despite attempts to persuade one to do so. "Stubborn" shares this core meaning of being unyieldingly firm or tenacious.

• Forgetful: apt or prone to forget.
• Curious: eager to know or learn something.
